One of the initial repercussions was the disruption in the global transportation and logistics networks, affecting the
timely delivery of snail products to international markets. The imposition of travel restrictions and lockdown
measures also impeded the movement of labor, impacting snail farming operations and leading to potential labor
shortages and decreased productivity. Moreover, the pandemic induced shifts in consumer behavior and
preferences, resulting in fluctuations in demand for snail-based products. With many restaurants and gourmet
markets temporarily closing or operating at reduced capacity, the demand for snail delicacies declined, affecting the
profitability of snail farmers and processors.
The burgeoning use of snails in the cosmetics industry has emerged as a significant growth driver for the snail market,
fostering increased demand and market expansion. Snail mucin, renowned for its rich composition of glycoproteins,
hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, has gained widespread recognition for its potential skin-regenerating and anti-
aging properties. The rising consumer preference for natural and organic skincare solutions has propelled the
integration of snail mucin in various skincare and beauty products, including serums, creams, and masks.

Chapter 8 Appendix
• Snail is a type of mollusk that belongs to the class Gastropoda. It is characterized by its coiled shell, which
serves as a protective covering for its soft body. Snails move by gliding along a single muscular foot that
secretes mucus, allowing them to move smoothly over surfaces. Most snails are herbivorous, feeding on a
variety of plants, though some species are omnivorous or predatory. They can be found in diverse habitats,
including gardens, forests, and aquatic environments, and they play essential roles in various ecosystems as
both consumers and decomposers. In some cultures, certain species of snails are consumed as food,
considered a delicacy in certain culinary traditions.
• By Type, the snail market is segmented into:
o Helix Aspersa (Brown Garden Snail): A type of snail commonly found in gardens, characterized by
its brown shell and relatively small size. It is known for its adaptability to various environments and
is a popular choice for consumption due to its tender meat and mild flavor.
o Helix Pomatia (Burgundy Snail): Also known as the Roman snail, it is a species prized in culinary
circles for its large size and delectable taste. Recognizable by its characteristic striped shell, this
snail is highly sought after in the gourmet food industry.
o Achatina Fulica (Giant African Snail): A species of snail native to East Africa, it is known for its large
size and rapid reproductive capacity. Despite being considered an invasive species in some regions,
it is sought after in some culinary traditions for its unique taste and texture.
o Otala Lactea (Spanish Snail): Commonly found in Spain and other Mediterranean countries, this
species is known for its medium size and distinctive taste. It is a popular ingredient in various
traditional dishes, especially in Spanish and French cuisine.
o Cornu Aspersum (European Brown Snail): A widely distributed snail species in Europe, it is known
for its medium-sized shell and delicate flavor. It is a popular choice for snail consumption in various
European cuisines due to its widespread availability and palatable taste.
• By Form, the snail market is segmented into:
o Fresh Snails: Refers to live snails that are harvested and sold without any preservation methods.
Fresh snails are often preferred for their superior taste and texture, and they are used in various
culinary preparations.
o Canned Snails: Snails that have been cooked, processed, and preserved in cans. Canned snails have
a longer shelf life and are convenient for storage and transportation, making them a popular choice
for commercial and retail purposes.
o Frozen Snails: Snails that have been cleaned, cooked, and then frozen to maintain their freshness
and taste. This preservation method helps extend the shelf life of the snails while preserving their
nutritional value and taste.
o Dried Snails: Snails that have been dehydrated to remove moisture, thereby prolonging their shelf
life. Dried snails are often used as a convenient ingredient in various cuisines and can be rehydrated
before use.
o Other: This category encompasses any other forms of snail products that do not fit into the
aforementioned classifications. It may include processed snail products such as snail paste, snail
extracts, and specialized snail-based ingredients used in the food and beauty industries.
• The regions included in the study are as follows:
